The Detroit Pistons are going to have to wait a little longer to see their offseason investment actually stay on the floor. Isaiah Joe is officially listed as out for Monday's game with a lingering right hip contusion.
For anyone trying to build a DFS lineup or staring at Pistons player props, you can safely cross his name off your board. Joe's absence just means more minutes for the rest of Detroit's backcourt rotation to try and figure things out.
"Underdog NBA tweeted: 'Isaiah Joe (hip) listed out Monday.'"
The sharpshooter has been dealing with this hip issue since late October and has only managed to log three games so far this season. When he has played, the results have been rough. Joe is averaging just 7.3 points in 14 minutes a night while shooting a freezing 23.1 percent from beyond the arc.
Detroit sent two future second-round picks to the Oklahoma City Thunder for him back in July. Right now, that trade looks like buying a luxury sports car on Craigslist only to find out the transmission is held together by duct tape and good vibes.
Joe is still technically considered day-to-day, but missing this many consecutive games means the hip is clearly more than just a minor bump. Detroit will have to keep leaning on their healthy guards until Joe can finally get back on the court and prove he was actually worth the draft capital.

What's next
Joe remains day-to-day, but his extended absence suggests the hip issue is lingering. Detroit will continue to monitor him ahead of their next matchups.
